AACN's Response to Hurricanes


Hurricane destruction has impacted most of our member schools in Texas, Florida, and other states in the Southeast, as well as Puerto Rico. AACN extends thoughts and prayers for the safety and health of all those affected.  To all in our member schools, please let us know if there is anything we can do to help you during this challenging time by emailing rrosseter@aacnnursing.org. We also want to know what schools of nursing are doing to respond to this national disaster.  Please share this news with AACN as well so we can disseminate it to the larger academic nursing community.
